I thought this was a test in psychic powers as my work firewall suppressed the picture relating to the early questions!

That's bad luck!  I'm not usually good at photos, but this was an easy one (Things are  always easy if you know the answer, I suppose!).  How many questions were you asked?

Kathy - I eventually persuaded the picture through and got asked 5 questions. The 5th one was a text question.

Didn't get a 5th question!  I have sent an email.

I did get a text question though.

i think it's that the first question was worth 2 points, 2nd 3 points, 3rd 5 points and 4th 5 points

though saying that i got 10 but that's possibly becuase i got one wrong. it does happen (frequently)

Well, I definitely got the right year, and I only got 10, and I definitely got the others right.  And Slowrower says he was asked 5 questions.

I reckon that after my dismal showing in week 2 - where I achieved the quiz equivalent of being in the Broomwagon before the end of the neutralised zone at the start - Barry thoughtfully decided to slip me an extra easy question. Smile

He's just replied to me that there were only 4 questions.  Was the year one a really mean trick question then?

Has anyone scored more than 10?

I got 15.

I've just done it again to check. 4 questions:

1 - Yellow jersey (3 points)
2 - Other rider (2 points)
3 - Year (5 points)
4 - Text question (5 points)

I just checked the year and had it right.

Maybe my French geography is wrong?

Will look again.....

No, it won't let me!!
